Hi. Well now that I'm back from vacation I thought that I would start a new segment on our blog. So you will now be reading the very first "Rokan's Review". In this segment I will give you an idea about how good or bad movies, books, or tv shows are. I will go about each review in as logical and thought out way as I can. Each review will end in a ranking for the subject. The ranking will be based on a scale of 1 angel feather through five angel feathers, with five being the best. So now on to the review.Review One
Marvel has released another movie, I am of course talking about "The Fantastic 4". I decided to check the movie out beside I had enjoyed all the previous Marvel movies except for the Hulk (and I had a sunburn and didin't want to go to the ocean that day). The acting in the movie was done very well as was the story line development. Ian Gruffudd, who played the teams leader, Reed Richards, was perfectly suited to the part. He seemed to master the way many brainy people become withrawn from society and have trouble handeling relationships. Jessica Alba who played Susan Storm, also did a good job; however, I think her acting could have been better. She was supposed to play the part of a lover scorned. While she did seem to play some of the scenes well, in others she just didn't seem to capture the feeling. Chris Evans played Johnny Storm. His acting was probally the worst in the movie. He carried the over confident younger brother thing way to far. He just seemed more cocky than he should have been. The best acting in the movie was by far done by Michael Chikils, who played Ben Grim. He perfectly played the part. He showed just how badly someone can be affected by scarring. He also showed how scars on the soul can be much worse than thoose on the body.
Ok, now onto the visual effects. The effects were very good. The scenes in which Mr. Fantastic stretched his body were done very well and itwas incredibly hard to tell that it had been CGed. The effects for Dr. Doom and the invisible woman were also done just as well. The worst effects in the movie were the fire effects for the human torch. The fire just looked to perfect and moved to perfectly. The flames did not act as real fire would. Another great effect in the movie was the giant car wreck on the Brooklin bridge. The wreck looked perfect and was done very well, esspecially since they had only a 209 foot copy of a section of the bridge to do it on. Over all I really loved the movie. It is now one of my favorite Marvel movies with only spiderman and spiderman 2 being better than it in my opinion (and Ive seen them all). All I can say is that I can't wait for the sequel
The Fantastic 4 recieves a four out of five
First off I would like to thank Bocin and Gra for holding down the fort. The beach was great and I had lots of fun but I am glad to be back in a world where I have internet axcess. A great change has occured over this past week. Namingways brought his PS2 to the beach with him and we played it a lot. Once I was a nintendo fan boy and would not touch another system. I have changed. I really want a ps2 now. But I shall be patcient and wait for the PS3. However, I have not lost all of my old ways. I will be getting a revolution as well.
Oh and the fantastic four is aa great movie. And it left a lot of room for a sequle. But it seems like they will have trouble coming up with a good title. Because the fantastic 4 two will look to much like the fantastic 42 and where are they going to get 38 more super heros. Possible names could be Fantastic 4: The dawn of doom or Fantastic 4: Doom's day

I'm sorry if my the archangel part of my personality became annoying recently. Every year around this time for a few days that part takes over and its all I can think about. But now things have returned to a semblance of normality at least. Yep I'm back to my normal mumblin' and grumblin' (well more like loud talking and not listening) self. Once again I am sorry about this whole thing,
please accept my apologies.
But lets get back to a normal post.
I have become obssesd with the Daily show with Jon Stewart. I love the show. Its hillarious but acctually stays close to a lot of the facts. But they recently moved to a new set. I hate it. The new set is horrible. It looks nothing like a talk show anymore. No more couch, no more normal desk. It looks (and this is how Jon himself siad his fans were describing it) like the control room of a starship. So I beg you Daily Show go back to the normal set or at least a better one than this one.

When I dare to be powerful, to use my strength in the service of my God, then it becomes less and less important whether I am afraid.
